from V-Day Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow 2012:
A group of Rivertowns women are producing, directing and acting in Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues, to be performed on April 28, 8pm at The Purple Crayon Center in Hastings-on-
Hudson. V-Day Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow 2012 is a group of mothers, daughters, girlfriends and professional women from all walks of life that came together out of a conversation over wine, food and friendship. This idea of giving something to the sisters, mothers and friends in our communities who live in fear and violence quickly grew into an organized well-oiled production once co-producers Tracy Brown and Elyssa Feldman- Most assembled their team. “We emailed, we registered, and we committed,” says Feldman-Most. “Our individual reasoning for committing differs from woman to woman and of course our experiences and histories are varied, but our desire for all women and girls to feel safe, empowered and proud unites us.”

All proceeds from the fundraiser and performance will benefit V-Day (www.vday.org) (10%) and Hope’s Door of Westchester (90%).

What is it about sheep shearing? Once a mundane source of income for many area farmers producing wool, modern suburbanites flock to the flocks to see sheep shorn and spinners spin as entertainment. The annual Sheep Shearing Day at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills April 28 was sold out long ago. But there’s the Philipsburg Manor’s Sheep to Shawl Day this coming weekend in Sleepy Hollow, Sheep-shearing, dyeing wool, and weaving cloth are just some of the weekend’s activities. Scottish border collies display their skills with sheepherding demonstrations throughout the day while newborn lambs frolic.
